The sale occurred about 4 months ago. It was initially listed at $60,000.

The same seller had a 1967 cello with Mantle on top and a 1967 cello with a Seaver RC on top (also
both slabbed). The source on all three of these packs was unknown. The Ryan RC pack could
not be tied back to the biggest known source of 1968 cellos (Fritsch).

no thanks And the Mantle and Seaver packs are still for sale

All those specific aforementioned star packs were bad for reasons discussed on these boards years ago. They were fabricated. I think it's safest to say that for any new eyes to be sufficiently warned, but in the interest of further discourse with friends here, best to leave it at that.

Is this the most expensive single pack sale anyone has known?

I think this is the highest price I have seen.

Both the Ryan cello and one with a Seaver RC on top were sold in a June, 2005 Lelands auction (links below).

At the time, both were in GAI slabs
